Do you think that one morning some Nintendo employee walked into the HQ, stumbled accross a switch, labeled... [Fortnite Crossplay Switch -> XboxOne]
...and shoulder shruggelingly flipped it, with no communication prior between the parties involved, nothing of legal matters and regulations... Tbh, it doesnt matter what some Sony official said and why. They made the wrong decision. Period.
“Gamers want crossplay, and we at Epic are committed to doing whatever it takes to make that happen. Players deserve it.”
Yea, thats "evil corporate greed". Epic wants crossplay, whatever it takes. To cement their position, cultivate and maximize the lifespan of their money making crap game. Not concerend about the downsides of crossplay - differences in hardware and input devices and the impact it has on fair play. Not to mention wider indirect implications.
Gamers want crossplay? A bunch of gullible kids drugged on sugar with no differentiated view on the matter obsessed with 21st consumerism want CP. The perfect clientel to suck dry.

First: the crossplay issues are tackled already. Epic did the technical stuff. With inclusion of Xbox, Switch, PC and mobile the contractual stuff was also already solved. And for PS4 too, as it already had supported crossplay with PC and mobile. All the legal issues are as relevant for that as they are for console crossplay.
Secondly you decry the differences in play devices with crossplay. Do you realize Sony had all the time allowed crossplay with PC and mobile? So actually with the platfroms that are more different and allow for easy cheating and whatnot? Xbox and Switch as platforms are much more similar to PS4 than PC and mobile deveices. Both in input schemes and power.
And lastly, sure Epic does that for profit. They do better with crossplay. But your arrogance to shit on gamers that want to play with their friends on other platforms is much worse. Don't shit on other gamers, because you feel the company you're devoted to got slighted. Grow up. Sony is a company, They'll live, probably even after we all are dead.
